What to expect
From the bestselling author of Shōgun and King Rat comes a richly illustrated children‘s story that takes the listener on a fantastic journey through a magical world.
Thrump-O-Moto is a little wizard and Apprentice Hero who, though sometimes puzzled and afraid, knows that the mightiest forces in the Universe always bow before the Brave and Good. By chance (and a bungled spell) he finds himself traveling not to the shores of Japan to visit his grandmother, but to the Australian outback where he stumbles upon Patricia sitting in the shade. Discovering that Patricia has been caught in the clutches of Nurk-u the Bad, the two of them set out on a Noble Quest to rescue her and defeat the evil wizard, finding the gifts of healing and courage in the process.
As we follow their magical journey through what seems to be many years (or is it just the length of Patricia’s afternoon nap?), Thrump-O-Moto explores a world found only in dreams—a realm of wonder, enchantment, delight, and ever-lurking danger; a place where magic spells are a very serious matter indeed …
